What's the last movie you've seen?

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Prometheus

I'm not someone who generally cares for 3D but it was simply incredible in this. Wow.

[Californian Tony]

Prometheus

LOL, it wasn't what I thought it would be. I'm not exactly a fan of alien horror.

The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972)

Has anyone else here ever seen this? What did they think?

[N.i.K.]

Vertigo

Mesmerizing film. Very enjoyable.

I've seen it as a stage play, does that count?

[Senator Ben]

Saw Prometheus, and thought it was quite good.

[Redalgo]

Watched Alien 3 the other night because I was bored. Not one of the better films in the franchise, in my opinion, but at least it got me in the mood to want to go see Prometheus sometime.

[So the Heroes Fall]

Tiny Furniture

Unless you are into very indie hipster type movies, you will not like this one at all. If you are, you will probably enjoy it quite a bit. I did.

[Supersonic]

The Dictator

Meh, it was funny, but I felt rather underwhelmed.

[Ghyl Tarvoke]

Shadows (1959)

Excellent.

[Gustaf]

Shadows (1959)

Excellent.

I haven't seen this one, but I really enjoyed Woman Under the Influence and the one about murdering a Chinese bookmaker. Cassavetes is pretty cool. Have you seen other stuff by him and if so, how did this compare?

star trek the abrahams 2009 version.

Actually this was my first Cassavetes but as I've managed to obtain (thank you Cork Public Library System) a DVD box-set of five of his films (I'm watching them in chronological order), I will be sure to give you my thoughts on them in the future.

Ha, I got hold of my Cassavetes the same way.

Faces (1968)

Brilliant; still swimming around my mind (It might take a while before I come up with a more detailled judgement). Before watching this, I never would have thought you could scream while watching a non-horror film "in a good way". I can't help reflect though if this film was made now, the characters would pad their solliquoys full of pseudo-psychological "insights". But this is great though perhaps at times suffers from what might be termed "over-realism". Not for the faint hearted though.

[State Comptroller Atkins]

A made-for-TV movie - James Dean.  James Franco (in one of his early roles) played him very well. Incredibly sexy too.

[So the Heroes Fall]

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Most of the negative reviews are stupid. It had a bit of a pacing problem though and basically glossed over Lincoln's rise in politics, admittedly the story is kind of tricky to just cram into 2 hours. Action sequences were very original and well done though, especially the fight with the vampire in the herd of horses.

[Gustaf]

Re-watched The Squid and the Whale yesterday night. I still really like it.

The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972)

I LOVE this movie.  Fassbinder is one of my favorite directors of all time.

Recently I saw a film, I remember wanting to mention it on here, but now I've forgotten what it was.. I will try to remember and get back.

Oh yes, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the american version. Pretty good.

[Californian Tony]

The Dictator

It might not be much intellectually challenging, but I laughed hard several times.

[King]

I just got back from Ted.  It was a decent.  Of course, if you're a MacFarlane fan you'll like it. 

The reviews I read that didn't like it said Seth relied too much on pop culture jokes, but frankly I didn't think he used them enough.  Almost every joke lands, but there weren't as many as I expect in a comedy.  Come to think of it, Wahlberg and Kunis stop making jokes about halfway through and Ted becomes the only source of humor.  It was really weird and made it kind of boring whenever Ted wasn't on screen.

Still, I liked it.

[Senator Ben]

The Avengers was quite good.

[Californian Tony]

Machete

God, that was brilliant.

[State Comptroller Atkins]

The Wise Kids. A fairly recent but obscure movie about a church in the South whose young members are having a number of personal issues. I didn't think much to it at first but it improved as it went along.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

The Amazing Spider-Man

Mostly good. It did drag at times. Solid performances from the two leads. Somewhat goofy villain. I enjoyed it more than the Raimi movies (with the possible exception of the second one).
